This week on the comics podcast, we interview Thomas Krajewski and Jennifer Muro about their OGN Primer which is out this week. Set in the DC universe, we discuss the creation of the character, their approach in creating a brand new hero, and what we might expect if Primer were to get sequel stories! Also, the color scarlet is totally not a reference to the Scarlet Witch according to the creators. Check out the show below.
